Have you ever felt like your life is a music video? Well this blog is dedicated to songs that either express a feeling that I am experiencing that day or that I feel applies to my life in one way or another. The song/lyrics will be posted as well as a reason why that song spoke to me that particular day. Almost as a song dairy.

I hope that you enjoy the songs and feel free to make suggestions or comment on the songs.

"Falling Slowly"- Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Lately I just haven't been finding that song that just hits me over the head and I understand why it's playing. This song I heard about a year ago, and I thought that it was absolutely amazing. Two of my friends did a cover of it together and it sounded SOO good and I was just amazed.

So today I was listening to my iPod and a song came on that had a similar opening to this song and I was so excited because I thought that it was "Falling Slowly", but then it turned out to be another song. But then I went on YouTube and found "Falling Slowly" and have not listened to it probably 20 times in a row.

I think it just speaks about the fact that you wanted this completely huge change in your life because it was so exciting to go out and do something SO different and that was part of the adventure. But now you find that you have started to slowly lose yourself. And you've waited so long to realize this that your just like this broken person barely able to manage and fight your way home. Well, that's how I interrupted to my life as apposed to relating it to a loved one.
